Serene, Rolling Hills, Fresh air. Hiking Buzzards Roost, Canoe/Kayaking @ MoonDoggie LIVERee, visiting Family Traditions Animal Zoo, Miller’s Amish furniture and Bakery, Shawnee National Forest, Adams State Lake, Serpent Mound, Tranquility Wild Life Shooting Range, your away from everything but close to what ever you want. Bigfoot Country (Sasquatch Hunting is allowed, however like fishing, they are catch and release only😎) . Nice private spot accommodates Tent Camping, Car camping, or even if your taking an Overland Trip. Bearpond will accommodate small RVs and Travel trailers. Nola's Cabin is a New availability as an Extra. Nola's Cabin is a Cozy small quiet cabin situated at the end of the gravel driveway under the trees. Overlooks the small valley down into the hill across the creek. Nice cozy place out of the elements. Electric is available. accommodates 4 people nicely. Twin (1) over full bunk (2) with Trundle (1). 6 inch Memory foam pads with liners are present on beds. Get a good nights rest while on your getaway, and still enjoy your outdoor cooking, fishing and star gazing.Come unplug and welcome the beautiful foliage and Trees at Bear Pond.  You will find 2.5 + mostly wooded acres with a pond and a creek, surrounded by more woods, with multiple areas to pitch tents, or stay in your small camper. If you would like, Nola's cabin is available as an extra.  At the end of the graveled entrance driveway, you will find a 30-amp RV outlet as well as a general duplex 115v outlet.  The Driveway is gated and can be locked with the combination lock and chain that is provided to give you Privacy and Solitude.  Phone signal is relatively good, depending on service provider, Service can be spotty around the pond and down the hills towards the creek.  Bear Pond is a good place for privacy as it is only available for 1 booking at a time.  There will be no other campers outside your group.  Nola's Cabin has twin over full bunk with trundle. Nola's cabin is an out of the elements alternative for pitching a tent. Electric is available in Nola's Cabin as well as a small fridge/freezer. Wake up in Nola's Cabin, make your camp coffee and breath the morning fresh air as you watch the beautiful sunrise over the trees. your only 4.5 miles from anything you need, Gas, supermarket, auto store, food. If you prefer small Mom and Pop Diners, stop in and say Hi to Milburn and Margaret at Mikey's Family Restaurant, I don't think you will be disappointed.  Charcoal Grill is supplied in case you just want to bring charcoal and camp cook. Things to do:  Hiking Buzzards Roost, Canoe/Kayaking @ MoonDoggie LIVERee, visiting Miller’s Amish furniture and Bakery, Shawnee National Forest, Adams State Lake, Serpent Mound and the Sunshine store, just to mention a few things to do..  There is about a 1/4 mile perimeter that can be walked/Hiked.  It is not a necessarily an easy walk as you will be crossing the creek 3 times along with going up dirt hills.  This is not a finished trail as there are no bridges over the creek or necessarily beaten trails, you will be following the property markers.   So bring your walking stick and boots.    Your away from everything but close to what ever you want. Bigfoot Country ;) Fishing and Bigfoot Hunting allowed,  however they are both catch and release :)

Camp at Bear Pond!
John is responsive and considerate. Bear Pond provides an awesome blend of the amenities of a campground with water & electric and the experience of being alone on private land or dispersed camping in a secluded area. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be returning. Excellent jumping off point for the SOAL and the GOAT adventure routes.

I had a wonderful time at Bear Pond staying in Nola's Cabin. The site was beautiful and peaceful, situated in the woods with creeks surrounding it. John was very helpful and made sure everything was ready for me while respecting my privacy. I highly recommend this space.

John was a great host and Bear Pond was a wonderful spot to stay. The cabin was just what was needed. The area was private, great little pond for fishing. We will be coming back again.

Peace and quiet
We camped out at bear pond for our wedding anniversary weekend, it was very peaceful and quiet. There is a road near the campsite though traffic isn’t bad at all and dies down in the evening. We definitely plan on camping here again with our family. The owner is very nice and prompt with response if you have any questions.
